The following night Damon had gone out to the Mystic Grill with Klaus to have a few drinks and to discuss their "Alliance" with each other. Damon played along agreeing with what Klaus had to say so that it , it looked like he was serious about being on the Original vampires side.

During their conversation Damon could see Stefan and Elena approaching out of the corner of his eye. Perfect timing he thought to himself. Stefan and Elena were also in on pretending like they were on opposite sides just like Bonnie was playing it. The couple stopped next to them with 'displeased' looks on their faces.

Klaus spotted Stefan and Elena. "Come to join us for a drink?" He asked them sarcastically.

Damon looked at the two and played irritated. "What are you two doing here?"

"Elena was hungry." Stefan answered "Why are you here with this maniac?"

"Because I can be." Damon said smartly.

Elena gave Damon a look of disapproval. "I can't believe that you decided to team up with Klaus, he's a evil, self fish prick bastard."

Klaus smirked. "Thanks for the compliment doppelganger."

Elena gave Klaus a brief glare before turning her attention back to Damon. "How can you turn your back on us like this?"

Damon rolled his eyes. "Oh please Elena give me a break."

"She's right you are a traitor." Stefan said "After all that we have done to save you."

"Let's not start with the lectures Saint Stefan." Damon said

Stefan's jaw flex. "Is that all you can do think of yourself?"

Damon gestured with his half filled glass of bourbon. "Duh…I have always cared about me, myself, and I first and foremost why is this news exactly?"

"That's it your just going to fight by this assholes side?" Stefan pretended disbelief and outrage at the thought.

"You got it." Damon said

Elena frowned at him. "We're your friends why are you doing this? How can you just leave Bonnie behind?"

Damon shrugged a shoulder. "I already told you I think about myself first and foremost. I really don't give a damn about Bonnie right now."

"She loves you." Elena said with a shake of her head.

"If she truly loved me then she stand by me no matter what." Damon retorted.

Stefan furrowed his brow. "So it's her fault because she won't stand by you in the face of evil?"

Damon held out his hands. "Exactly."

"You're willing to ruin your marriage for Klaus?" Elena asked "Bonnie is really hurting about this you know."

"Do me a favor and tell her that I don't give a shit about her feelings." Damon spat.

Elena reached over and grabbed the glass from his hand and splashed it in his face. "Fucking jerk." She said walking away.

"This is it?" Stefan asked "You'll be fighting beside him no question?"

"No question." Damon confirmed

"Then you left no choice but for us to fight if that what it comes down to." Stefan warned

"Bring it on little brother." Damon winked.

Stefan turned and stormed out of the Mystic Grill following Elena.

Klaus chuckled. "That went well."

"Yeah." Damon stated wiping his face with a napkin.

"Let me get you another drink." Klaus said

Damon kept drinking with Klaus thinking about how well played the scene between him, Stefan and Elena went.

On the next night Damon found himself walking along with Klaus and Alex in the woods. It was a moonless, starry night and it was very dark. Damon heightened vampire sight allowed him to see clearly in the dark. All Damon knew that Klaus wanted to go out on some kind of mission and Damon figured that his mission didn't have good intentions.

"Where are we going?" Damon asked as the marched through the trees.

"You'll see were almost there." Klaus answered.

For a couple of more minutes they walked through the woods in silence until Damon could hear the sound of what sounded like young men talking. They walked a little more and soon the glow of a camp fire came into view. Damon could see a couple of tents set up and a few other camping items. Around the tent was a group of four college age looking kids. Two guys and two females and Damon knew what Klaus's mission was it was a feeding mission for live human prey.

They stopped just behind the edge of the trees out of eye and ear sight of the campers.

"Since your back to being a ruthless vampire how about feeding from live prey?" Klaus asked.

Damon knew that this was another test any sign of weakness would put the whole plan in jeopardy. "I'm up for a little night time meal."

Klaus grinned showing his fangs. "Good let's prepare to eat."

Alex licked his lips. "I'm hungry."

The campers laughed and ate camping food not aware of the vampires a few feet away behind the trees. Damon really didn't want to do this, it was something that had to be done. Either he would do it or Klaus would suspect him if he backed away. This was something that had to be done to protect the plan and especially to protect Bonnie. Klaus and Alex flashed out from behind the woods and towards the campers. The campers streaked and screamed in fear when they saw Klaus and Alex in their vampire faces. Klaus quickly bit into one of the males throats while Alex feed on one of the females.

Damon saw the other female make a run towards the woods. Using his vampire speed he flashed in front of her making her run into him. She stumbled back a scream caught in her throat. Damon grabbed her his fangs know showing. Utter horror was on the woman's face.

"Sorry." He muttered under his breath before sinking his fangs into her throat.

The woman yelled out in pain.

It had been a while since Damon fed directly from a human for the sake of a meal. He had fed on Bonnie countless times now but that was different something done for the purpose of bonding, seduction, and love for his wife. This was a woman he didn't know, someone that he had to fed on to keep himself under cover with Klaus.

The rush of the woman's blood down his throat was rich and sweet and reminded him of why he used to hunt down humans viciously before switching to blood bags. Now he couldn't stop even if he wanted to, he drank down the woman's blood until she went still in his arms. When he was done he let her go and her body fell lifelessly to the ground.

Damon wiped the blood from the back of his lips as Klaus walked over all of the other campers were dead.

"Well done." Klaus told him looking at the woman's body.

Damon closed his eyes the things needed to be done to save the world. Test two had been passed.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

They returned back to Klaus's house Damon could feel the woman's blood in his belly and start to course through his veins.

"Thanks for showing me to the meal Klaus." Damon said

Klaus chuckled. "You're welcome you'll fed like a king as long as you are on my side."

"I'm looking forward to that." Damon told him.

"Being on my side is rewarding in many ways." Klaus said sitting in a chair. "As I have proven tonight. I want to reward you more for being on my team."

Damon remained standing. "What rewards are those?"

Klaus ran his fingers over his lips. "You and your wife are no longer on the same page. That means that she'll no longer want to give herself to you like how I saw her do in the woods."

"What are you getting at?" Damon asked

"I have a number of women that I can bring in to take care of you in that area." Klaus gestured "Since you will no longer get any from your wife."

Damon didn't know how to respond to that. "You are bringing in women to…..pleasure me."

"Right." Klaus said "Tomorrow night you'll have a selection of women, you can have one, two, or even three if you like to."

Before Bonnie Damon would have gladly jumped at the opportunity to have sex with a woman as long as she was attractive to him. He loved sex and still did but love doing it with one woman in Bonnie so Klaus offering him women didn't set with Damon well at all. He in no way wanted to sleep with another woman because there was only one woman in his eyes and that was his wife, he had desires for no other and he knew that sleeping around no matter what the reason would hurt Bonnie deeply and that was the last thing that he wanted to do.

"You're being mighty generous." Damon stated.

"Of course and I suppose that you will take the women offered." Klaus studied Damon closely. "Unless you don't want to because you're still hung up on your wife."

Damon knew that Klaus was challenging him and cursed under his breath. "I'll take what's offered." How the fuck am I suppose to get around this one? He thought to himself.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

It was late afternoon the following day. Damon left Klaus saying that he had an errand to run and would be back. Damon got in his car and made sure that he was being followed he drove about thirty minutes away from Klaus's house to an area of woods. He parked his car along the path of a narrow dirt road. Once again he made sure that he wasn't being followed before tracking through the woods.

Sunlight shown through the trees and fell to the forest floor. He and Bonnie decided that they would meet at a secret spot since meeting at the boarding house would be to risky in giving their plan to fool Klaus away. This was the area of woods that Bonnie told him to meet her at. Damon walked through the woods looking around as birds chirped. He walked deeper into the woods until he could smell her wonderful scent.

"Damon." Bonnie called out to him.

Damon stopped looking to his left and could see her popping out from behind a tree.

Bonnie gestured. "Over here."

Damon checked his surroundings one more time before walking over to her. He grabbed her and kissed her like he hadn't seen her in years instead of a few days.

Bonnie kissed him back with equal longing and then pulled away, how she had missed those soft lips of his on hers. "Missed me?"

"Hell Yeah." Damon told her.

Bonnie smiled at him. "Follow me."

Damon followed her down a slope of hill, at the bottom of the hill she lead him a few more feet until they came to an entrance of a cave. Bonnie lead him into the cave. Inside of the cave the ceiling was about ten feet high, it was wide like the size of a very large room, Damon could see that the cave extended back so far that it was dark out of the reach of the day light and sun light.

"This is our secret spot that we can meet until this is over." Bonnie told him.

"Nice." Damon said "And smart."

Bonnie got out a candle that she brought with her. She lit if using her mind. "Just a little stopping for added protection."

"What are you doing?" Damon asked

"Putting a cloaking spell around the cave." Bonnie explained. "It hides the cave from view to anyone besides us, we will be the only two to be able to see it. It will also conceal our voices and scent from anyone that we would want to hear and smell us."

Damon looked at her. "I didn't know you could do that type of spell."

Bonnie's lips curved. "I can do a lot of spells that you might not know of." She held out the candle closed her eyes and began chanting the cloaking spell. She did the chant for a full minute before she felt the invisible seal of the spell go up in and around the cave.

She blew out the candle. "It's done." Bonnie turned to him. "Now tell me what has happened with Klaus so far."

Damon proceeded to tell her every thing including the woman that he had to kill a woman by feeding off of her.

"It's not like I wanted to do it." Damon told her. "Klaus was testing me and I had no choice."

Bonnie swallowed. "What an awful spot to be put in."

"Are you disgusted with me?" Damon asked seriously

"How could I be angry or disgusted with you because Klaus put you in a no win situation? If you refused to do it he would have suspected you." Bonnie shook her head. "I'm sad that a woman had to die in order to keep our plan intact."

"So am I." Damon said

Bonnie lifted her hand to brush his cheek. "The goal here is to save millions of lives, I just hope that it will happen before Klaus pushes you into taking too many lives."

"There's something else that he's doing to test me." Damon said

Bonnie's eyes scanned his face. "What would that be?"

Damon swallowed dreadfully. "He wants me to sleep with another woman."
